Ok all you other cleaners and editors: How many pages a day do you manage to clean on average?
Right now I'm able to do an average of 4 pages a day - total, not necessarily of each chapter (I'm working on two). Sometimes it's two pages each, some days, like today, it's 4 of one chapter.
Is this normal???? Since I'm new to this I don't know!! But I also run a business and have a husband and four year old who need my attention, so I don't know if I should be aiming higher or not.
:noway:
10 - 15, when I'm kinda free I clean the whole chapter. o_o (depends if the sfxs isn't that hard). When I'm feeling lazy I do 2-3 per hour then I'll do something else, when I'm bored I'll go back to my cleaning again.
Wow, that's crazy! So at 2-3 an hour, you're spending around 5 hours in a day on cleaning?
I guess? Maybe, idk because I don't clean in long straight hours. After 30 minutes or an hour, I'll do something maybe study or eat then I'll go back cleaning or I'll clean at least 5-8 pages then I'll read one chapter of manga or watch 1 ep of anime or if I have a project in school I'll probably doing that. Or homework...
...or not hahaha <-- always have a problem dealing with her care-free attitude
it really depends on the raw quality.
ex: most cleaners can finish a chapter of switch girl in less than an hour.
though...I know for a fact that xye could probably do it in 40 minutes (without too much cloning and stuff)
obviously, projects with deadly raws...take MUCH longer.
if i have a free day and several liters of tea i can pus bout 50 edited pages a day

I miss being in school! SO much more free time, even with the 12 page essays and weekly 150-photo assignments for digital photography.
:swt:
Cleaning seven pages in one day is quite the accomplishment for me...
For everyone else, it should be at least three times that amount.
It definitely depends on the raws and how much SFX you're cloning out. When working on JTT I varied from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours per page. ...But that's also because there's 85 BILLION SFX (number may be an approximation) in that friggin' manga and I'm a perfectionist. :X
I am hoping to increase my speed, however. I'd like to be able to do a chapter in 2-3 days, regardless of the painful redraws. <3

YES. I use actions and hotkeys. What actions do you use, Tear?
Actions + Batching + Hotkeys = ftw
Actions and batching are your best friends as cleaner =)
